On Snapchat, one of the leaders in AR, you can create basic AR experiences, even branded ones,...

Snapchat Offers Tentative Support for UK MP’s Call for Labels on Digitally Altered Images

Negative self comparison is one of the biggest risks for young people online, and the availability of advanced photo editing and image-altering tools now means that many of the photos of people you see posted are not realistic depictions of what they actually look like.

Evans said that such enhancements create an "unrealistic and unachievable aspiration" for young people, which can cause significant psychological impacts. "With the click of a mouse you can have bigger biceps, with the swipe of a thumb you can have a slimmer wa...
